On August 7th at the Metcalf Auditorium, “Andrew and Wendy” will be on at 7:00pm as part of the Rhode Island International Film Festival.
“Andrew and Wendy“: Andrew, a 55-year-old musician, is in a coma when his loving wife, Wendy, knowing his deep connection to music, plays Bach’s St Mathew Passion for him in a last ditch effort to bring him back. Miraculously Andrew stabilizes and wakes up a few days later. This film analyzes the mysterious healing powers of music as Andrew returns to the ICU where his life almost ended bringing music to its desperately ill patients.
